Question

Is there an affordable book on coastal convoys?

Short answer

Yes. Nick Hewitt's coastal-convoy history was available in several inexpensive editions when the stream aired.

Notes

A viewer asks for an affordable book on coastal convoys, and the immediate recommendation is the Nick Hewitt volume used in the stream. Inexpensive paperback, hardback, and Kindle options were available at the time. The recommendation leads directly into the detailed Foylebank and convoy OA 178 reading later in the video, giving readers a focused entry into British coastal shipping and escort warfare.
